RickinBaltimore Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Still dark and hazy here and you can smell the smoke at times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high risk Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Incredible amount of smoke in the sky this morning, and consistent with what a few others have noted, I'm also starting to smell some smoke. This is consistent with the HRRR smoke output which has shown that the smoke will work its way down to the surface today, starting very early this morning. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 115 miles southwest of D.C., the atmospheric smoke is more pronounced than any previous day. It reminds of the atmospheric haze that was prominent during summer 50 years ago, but rare in recent years. 42 at 6 am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a Breeze Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Incredible satellite images showing the amount of smoke. You can see some of the individual fires in Canada (this is static, animated is better.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding to the discussion...yeah, *really* smokey this morning in Fairfax County. Agreed on wondering if the filtered sun will result in lower temps than forecast.

frd Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Wondering whether the showers North of Altoona, PA. will get me later. The other area looks as if it is headed for Wilmington, De and Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Here's some fun science for you. Top and bottom images below are from this morning in Quebec. You can clearly see the fires to the west of the cloud cover in the top image. Two hours later you can see that a field of small cumulus clouds have developed only in the fresh smoky areas. It is very likely that the soot is acting as cloud condensation nuclei to help the cloud development. This is a different process from fire-related pyrocumulus which have the additional impact of the heat created by the fires. 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Hey look, clouds streaming in from the nw on satellite. If you want boring weather, that’s the flow you want…kinda like how it’s been basically the entire year and then some.Re smoke…caught the red sunset over the Catoctins yesterday and see a noticeable haze. Might actually be smelling occasional smoke as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You give me temps in the 70's and 80's with a cool breeze and virtually no humidity all summer and I'll take my boring San Diego weather and enjoy every damn second of it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s supposed to be green and lush in the summer. This weather pattern is getting played out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 It's been dim and hazy all day but I didn't notice smoke odor earlier. Last hour or so ramping up noticeably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Looks like another upper level low around the GL region for early next week. Maybe a couple of vorticity lobes can wring out some precip, though that’s a maybe. We’re just not getting much from those northern systems.
